ORGANIC AGAVE SYRUP, light amber, raw

Ingredients: 100% agave nectarCountry of Origin: Mexico Production: Agave syrup is made from a desert succulent plant with large sword-like leaves.

The yield of this process is a viscous, golden liquid with a neutral, highly-sweet taste.Fun fact: Agave syrup and tequila come from the same plant. Most of the agave plants to make syrup (and tequila) live in Mexico.Qualities: Agave is a liquid sweetener which dissolves easily and has a viscosity similar to maple syrup. Our premium agave is up to 1.3 times sweeter than sugar (sucrose), gluten free, and high in long-chain branched inulin (soluble fiber). Unlike some sweeteners that have notes of fruit, caramel, or flowers, agave syrup has a very neutral, “clean” tasting sweetness. This makes it a good sweetener for recipes with delicate flavors.Common Use: It can be us
